Title:
Users cannot dispel notifications if they are disrupting work
Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
There is no method for users to dispel notifications.
Current behaviour:
when the user hovers the mouse over the notification it blurs. This serves no
useful purpose
* the notification is blurred, so it is not readable, it is sufficiently
opaque to make it a nuisance, It conflicts with the original spec of "pausing
the notification"
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/796596)
By changing the nature of the notification to include any method of
dispelling the notification (hotkey, clickable notifications, button
on notification bar), users are not held hostage to the time out.
Disabling notifications or changing the time out globally is NOT a
solution.
requirements of fix:
*disable blurring of notifications
*add method of dispelling notifications that ALSO works for fullscreen apps.
The code for a closable notification already exists in
"ppa:leolik/leolik"
